Where this comes from

Abstract

Family physicians can do a great deal more to help patients face infertility assessment and treatment, but they must first recognize how their patients may be emotionally and physically affected by the diagnosis, a therapist told a recent workshop in Toronto. Strategies used by medical counsellors can be adapted by FPs and specialists to help patients address infertility issues.
